InGreek mythology, the nameTheobule (Ancient Greek:Θεοβούλη fromθεός +βούλλα^[1] 'divine will' or 'divine counsel') refers to:

• Theobule, mother ofMyrtilus byHermes.^[2]
• Theobula, mother ofArcesilaus andProthoenor byAreilycus^[3] (Archilycus^[4]). Their son was one of theBoeotian leaders in theTrojan War. In one account,Alector was the father of Arcesilaus byCleobule and Prothoenor byArteis.^[5]

This name was also thought to have given rise toSibyl byVarro, a Roman man of letters.^[1] The historianJerome similarly explainedTheobule as theAttic form of theDoricΣιοβόλλα (Siobolla), a variant ofSibulla (Sibyl in Greek)^[6]
